Blaz Zerjav Eliminated in 2nd Place ($225,720)
Level 31
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Lei Yu raised to 600,000 from the small blind, and Blaz Zerjav called in the big blind.
After the flop came 8♠6♠5♠ Zerjav checked to Yu, who bet out 800,000. Zerjav then raised to 2,400,000, and Yu instantly three-bet all in for Zerjav's remaining stack, which he snap called.
Blaz Zerjav: 8♣7♣ 
Lei Yu: A♠A♦
Zerjav had flopped top pair and an open-ended straight draw, but would need to improve past Yu's pocket aces. The 8♦ on the turn did that as Zerjav made trips, but the 4♠ on the river gave Yu a flush to win the pot and eliminate Zerjav in second place.
